Comment (by axeld):

 Replying to [comment:7 jscipione]:
 > Do we really want to do this at all though? The Deskbar "window" is not
 resizable, in that it has the B_NOT_RESIZABLE flag set. The ctrl+alt
 functionality should respect that flag and not try and resize the window.

 Sure it should respect that - the Deskbar should then only have the
 B_NOT_V_RESIZABLE flag set (or whatever it's called). In addition to the
 ctrl-alt method, I would indeed add another slider to the configuration
 panel that would be the more obvious way to change the size.

 > My main worry for this feature is that the larger icons may make the
 Deskbar too wide, not that we need to allow the user to make the Deskbar
 window wider!

 But why not simply let the user decide this on his own?

 > One option that was suggested to me would be to allow the user to get
 rid of the Application name labels, replaced them with a tooltip when one
 hovers the mouse over the icon.

 I like that as an option. A possible next step would then be to integrate
 the LaunchBox into the Deskbar, and then to be able to make items sticky
 (and even change their position).
